Crux has been named to the Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies, a milestone that reflects both engineering depth and business velocity.

The story was also covered by Fortune India, highlighting Crux’s rise from a tech-first consultancy to a platform partner for enterprises and high-growth startups.

Built for Engineering-First Growth

“Even in an evolved IT services landscape, it’s not hard to tell who’s pushing technology and who’s just pushing headcount,” says Gayathri Vivekanandan, CEO at Crux Technologies, headquartered in Dallas.

That engineering-first mindset has propelled Crux into the Inc. 5000 list, solidifying its place among the top technology partners for enterprises and high-growth startups.

The Origin Story

The journey started in 2008 when Murali Vivekanandan left Google to offer CTO consulting to fellow ex-Googlers. But as he tried outsourcing development to traditional software firms, a critical flaw emerged most lacked business-first thinking and engineering rigor.

That gap became the blueprint for Crux: a product engineering firm built by technologists, for technologists.

Our team of "Ideators" is trained continuously through in-house accelerators and self-funded PoCs resulting in faster delivery, cleaner architectures, and higher ROI for clients.

Dallas: A Strategic Hub in Our Growth Journey

Dallas has rapidly become one of the most dynamic tech ecosystems and also where Crux has doubled down on building enterprise-grade, innovation-led software. Our custom software development in Dallas is powered by engineers who invent.

Dallas offers proximity to Fortune 500s, access to elite talent, and a client base that’s eager to innovate. 

The clients are a healthy mix of enterprises like Facebook, Microsoft, Oracle, Zynga, and startups. Crux bets big on emerging technologies like Agentic AI, AI-ML, Cloud-Native, Blockchain, IIoT, and the likes. The company’s workforce loves to dabble with new technology and create self-funded PoCs. So Crux upskills its Ideators (that’s what the company’s employees are called) frequently on the latest tech stacks.
